Proactive Value Delivery in Internal Auditing

Proactive Value Delivery in Internal Auditing using Target-Based Change Rollout System: A Field Guide for Internal Audit and Risk Teams

💼 Product Description:

Move beyond reporting risks — help transform systems.

This comprehensive, field-ready guide introduces the Target-Based Change Rollout System, designed for internal auditors, compliance teams, and risk leaders operating in dynamic, high-stakes environments. It’s especially valuable for those managing or auditing grant-funded programs, migrant service portfolios, or nonprofit networks where trust, discretion, and compliance constantly intersect.

Instead of static findings and reactive controls, this guide helps you deliver measurable value by using strategic audit interventions rooted in field-tested frameworks:

• The Target Model of Discretion, for mapping invisible decision influences
• Jobs-To-Be-Done (JTBD) methodology, to understand what stakeholders truly need
• AMPLIO’s Quickest Valuable Release (QVR), to test change quickly with minimal disruption
• Requirements by Objectives (RBO), to define success in human terms
• Planguage + EVO cycles, to guide small experiments with large insight returns

It’s written for the working professional — with 11-point text, human language, real case examples, and a tone that balances practical urgency with systems thinking. You’ll leave with tools to make audit engagements a source of clarity, trust, and visible progress.
